The biological and behavioural evolution of humans will be studied with the aim of understanding man's place in nature and the source of his unique culture-creating capacities. Special attention will be given to Darwinian Evolutionary Theory, the study of non-human primates (primatology) and our hominid ancestors. This is the classic “bones and stones” course.

This course is designed to introduce the student to anthropological approaches to various belief systems. This is a classical anthropological domain in which we will analyze various ways of understanding things that cannot be easily explained. We will explore rites of passage, rites of intensification, major religions, and magical thinking among other approaches to understanding belief systems. This course will provide students with the necessary knowledge to pursue more specific or advanced courses in anthropology at either the CEGEP or university level.

This course explores the anthropological contributions to contemporary food issues. What should we eat? With whom and when? Where did foods we eat come from? Who gets to eat what & why? Can we really eat anything? We will be using cross-cultural approaches to explore current debates about how we as humans eat. This will include case studies from media and current events examined through anthropological theories of symbolism, ritual, status and power, as well as evolution. Ethnographic and biological anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics will all be connected to these critical debates to bring about a broader understanding.

The topic for this course will be visual anthropology. The main interests of visual anthropology are: 1) production of visual documentation of people, practices, and cultures in an ethnographic context, and 2) analysis of visual representations of people, practices, and cultures. How we see things and how what we see is understood will be examined using anthropological concepts, theories and methods. This course is concerned with the study of visual systems and material culture. An analysis of visual and material processes such as photography, film and new media will allow students to consider how visual representation is constructed, interpreted and contested.

The advanced topic for this course will be culture, travel and mobility. This course will cover themes such as immigration, pilgrimage, youth travel and exchange programs, the mobility of chimpanzees for the medical/entertainment industries, the global spread of Hip Hop, and more. This class will have an ethnographic focus and multitude of media will be used to learn including (but not limited to): photos, films, podcasts and readings. Students will attend lectures, participate in class discussions and plan and prepare a visual project centering on the themes of this class.

This course is designed to acquaint the student with the analysis of architectures and built environments. Built environments are the product of humans altering the natural environment and encompass everything from built forms and architecture to landscape modification. We will explore the theoretical and methodological approaches that anthropologists use to understand built environments, then examine the built environment as “home”, “ritual”, and “landscape & ecological management” using case studies from around the world. This course will help the student familiarize themselves with the anthropological analysis of topics in social science.

This course examines the ways in which museum displays shape our understanding of culture. A museum is a place where we can be exposed to cultures of different peoples, times, and aspects of culture. However, what we see in museums is curated, and chosen in order to tell a specific story. Selective stories of culture are thus created, where some narratives are emphasized and others are excluded. We will have guided visits to local museums as well as virtual visits to museums elsewhere in the world with the goal of exploring how museum displays are curated. Using comparative analysis we will examine how stories about culture are created and how each story leaves us with a different understanding of the culture we are exploring.

This course is the second of two courses designed to introduce the student to the fundamentals of anatomy and physiology of all human body systems.
